Elements and Applications of Integral Equations (UMAP)

Author: A.J. Jerri


This module deals with the Volterra and Fredholm integral equations and their applications. In addition to problems that can be directly modeled by differential equations and then reduced to integral equations are discussed. The major methods, namely numerical and iterative, for solving integral equations are illustrated.
